"You never struck me as a sentimental type, Xehanort."
"Never was."
my quick sketch made when Dark Road was announced was recently dug up (gotta love evergreen tumblr tagging system) and when I've been getting back into KH? Well, I felt a redraw was a little apt to try and ring in a more artistic 2026. I miss drawing guys. I also miss my traumatized brat.
Bonus:
#khdr#young xehanort#vor kh#urd kh#bragi kh#hermod kh#young eraqus#windy art#fuck it we put this in main tags???? forget the first drawing it was so sloppy and rushed lol#after a long break from KH after 3 burned me it's been nice to kind of ease back into it#and unfortunately i am reverting back to my high school years and xehanort in his younger years is my little autistic burnout beepo#(i say unfortunately like i'm not really appreciating dark road validating a lot of my old hcs about him)#(from giving me a tangible reason for him to dislike being touched to really hammering home right intentions wrong methods)#(he could've been a good kid man. it's fine i'll give him therapy in fanworks)#this is also kind of sloppy and rushed. you can see 5 years of art progress in it for sure but i wanted it to be better#but I want to force myself back into art again. do it badly. do it for love.#stop being a norton seeking perfection and just do it#GOD this is a lot of tag rambling huh! anyways#fun deet bragi's expression is a little forlorn because i've decided unless canon corrects me they uh. never aactually met#bragi bragi never met xehanort that is.#we really dont fucking know when luxu entered this picture huh#ALSO very fucking weird to come back to this with the full khdr context#me then: you cant kill vor she's baby#(cut to the 1st chapter flat out confirming people are dead followed by the last one killing her off on screen)#dark road is not perfect and im rather annoyed so much of it is confined to itself but it's honestly one of the better plots#would've been GREAT if we got more foreshadowing + hints about it instead of focusing on YMX as a puppy kicking brat in KH3#do I like this series? i like this series. im strangling it. i feel that's a kh fan experience.#ironically enough I actually like the bonus sketch a lot more than the redraw ngl
